What it does

AdmitRaven is a college counselor in your pocket for a fraction of the cost. It walks students through the entire application journey in daily, bite-sized lessons, and blocks doomscrolling until you finish them. It helps you craft authentic, compelling essays, stay on top of every deadline and requirement, and match to the right schools and scholarships. You can even read real admitted students' essays from your dream school, and ask them questions directly.

Get into your dream college. Read the real essays, stats, and strategies from students who got into Harvard, Stanford, MIT & more. Then message them for specific advice.

What if you could read the EXACT essays that got people into their dream schools? Or just message them and ask how they did it?? Because that's literally what we built. A college tutoring service in your pocket. It walks you through everything—schools, deadlines, essays, mentors—from start to finish, one small daily lesson at a time. It walks you through everything — from picking schools to pressing submit — one small lesson at a time. Boutique firms charge $6,000 to $33,000. Private consultants average $200 an hour. Single-feature AI tools charge $39 a month for essay feedback alone. AdmitRaven is $ 20 a month for all of it. One hour with a private college consultant costs more than 10…from admitraven.com

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.
